A set of alcohol-based markers is often the best entry point into the technique, because it allows you to start with a coherent palette without having to choose colours one by one. Sets are generally built around complementary colour families, which makes gradients and transitions easier to achieve from the start. For illustrators and designers who already work with individual markers, a themed set is a quick way to expand a palette in a specific direction, whether that means skin tones, cool colours or neutral shades. Alcohol-based markers stand out for their ability to blend together while still wet, allowing smooth transitions that are impossible to achieve with other media.
